RDC Retro Drift Challenge

Post by Dean » 31 Jan 2013 08:06 pm

I've seen a few volvo 300 pics floating about on the facebook page, just curious if anyone is going?

I'll be going to watch.... Not got the funds to get mine up to standards to compete (cage etc)

Be cool to see any of you guys up there if anyone is?

Not exactly any confirmed dates or venue yet, but there is a lot of craze about it going on:

Thinking about it, but most likely won't have a car ready in time. That and I already have Buxton to take my frustrations out on. Also the details are still a little vague - if the venue is in Scotland for example, I'm oot.
'88 340 Williams (Sold)
'85 360 GLS - Drift project (Sold)
'77 Colt Sigma
'96 940 Drift project

Cool, I'm not competing but looks like it'll be a cool day out - It's definitely manchester for round 1 but no venue details.

Yeah theres some strict-ish regs to compete so it's out the question for most, but I'll be there to watch - Me and my mate were talking about where it could be and thats not a bad shout, the best I had was buxton raceway but that's not technically manchester...
